A BLURB ABOUT THE ALBUM
I never planned on making this album. It began as an experimental recording project in my parents' basement. After much trial and error, inspiration, frustration, a bit of OCD and perfectionism, even more trial and error and tooling and retooling, I've come out on the other side with something I'm quite happy with.

This album is, in a sense, two albums in one. Most of the tracks are an homage to Django's prebop sound of the 1940s, with electric lead guitar (or acoustic with an electronic stimer cable) and a rhythm section of acoustic guitar, upright bass and drums. The remaining tracks are some exploratory solo improvisations on acoustic guitar. I think the two sides of the album make up a nice complement to each other, and each part provides a nice respite from the other. It's meant to be listened to from front to back, in order.

When you listen to this album, more than anything, I want you to feel a vibe. When I first started listening to Django Reinhardt, it was obvious that he was an incredibly skilled guitarist. But what made me truly fall in love with his music was its vibe. I hope I'm able to recapture even a glint of that vibe and sound with this album. When you listen to it, I hope it captures some of that dreaminess, wistfulness, passion and nostalgia of Django's music and time period. Enjoi :)
